Learn more about barre

Barre is a fundamental exercise technique used in ballet training that involves holding onto a horizontal handrail, called the barre, for support while performing a series of precise movements and stretches. The barre helps dancers develop strength, balance, flexibility, and proper alignment before moving to center floor work without support. It provides stability, allowing dancers to focus on refining their technique, muscle control, and posture. Barre exercises typically include pliés, tendus, dégagés, and rond de jambe, among others, which prepare the body for more complex steps and jumps. Beyond ballet, barre has also inspired modern fitness classes that combine ballet-inspired movements with elements of yoga and Pilates to improve overall fitness and body tone.
